This will sound strange, but anyways: I've been using sync from day one, moving all my accumulated logins/passwords to the firefox cloud.
I never did any housekeeping on this mountain of logins. But it suffices to say that before the inclusion of lockwise, showing the list of stored credentials exhibited a delay of some seconds (on a 4th gen core i5) between pressing the buttons to show them and actually opening a window displaying them!
This, happily, changed with lockwise (which also solved some problems on my android devices). I was amazed with the fact that the credentials window opened very fast.
Now I'd normally be very happy with this change. However, I noticed that lockwise in firefox (windows) displays the number of logins/passwords at the upper left. It showed 999... Which is an extremely round number. Coupled with the fact that it opens very fast now, I'm afraid that some change might have occured leading to credentials loss!
Are you aware if a credential limit exists now on firefox regarding credential management, or whether a credential loss/data loss has been reported on the sync cloud?
This is *hugely* important for me, stability of this feature would be enough for me to switch to another browser.
I think I have a number of rolling backups on one of my sync-connected Windows PC. When were the new lockwise-related changes introduced? Asking here, in order to check a backup older than that.

I need to disable the Quick Find hotkey or change it to something else. I use the forward slash on the keypad as a divide symbol for an in-browser calculator for my online math homework. However, every time I hit forward slash, it brings up the Quick Find search bar, which means I have to stop and use my mouse to click the divide button on the calculator. This is quite frustrating and slows me down immensely when completing my homework.
Why do some tabs fail to load properly? Opening a new tab and going to the same link sometimes solves this. Sometimes it doesn't.
So Firefox basically fails to load tabs on occasion, whether that be to actual web pages or even the "New Tab"
When using "Find in this Page", the "Whole Words" option keeps enabling itself, even though I've turned it off repeatedly, and have never turned it on.
I've checked the setting in about:config, and it's set to default/false, which is what I want. So what is causing it to re-enable itself?
Deleting bookmarks folder does not actually delete bookmarks

I have split my default Firefox into two separate profiles, one for me, one for my partner. In the default profile, we spent lots of time organizing the bookmarks into two folders, one for each of us. Then I made two copies of the profile folder, named them, and created new profiles by editing the profiles.ini file. This worked fine. We now have a working profile each, and the original default profile as a backup. So each of us opens our new Firefox profile and wants to delete the bookmarks that are not ours. We delete the folder. But all the bookmarks are still there. What has gone wrong here? Surely we don't have to delete them one at a time?

I have three devices using Firefox, all synced under 1 FF account. Three of these devices are working well and continue to sync without issue. My desktop is the fourth device, and it was working until I formatted it and started from scratch. Upon my fresh install of FF 70 on Win 10 1903, I recieve "unexpected error" after only entering my email address in and trying to proceed. This generates an error in the console:
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://api.accounts.firefox.com/v1/account/status. (Reason: CORS request did not succeed).
I have uninstalled and reinstalled FF, cleared my windows profile appdata folder, C:/programdata folder, all registry entries citing mozilla or firefox, and nothing seems to be able to fix this.
Any advice? Thank you!

Unable to open Word and Excel documents from within SharePoint. This has never been an issue but now the error message is shown. "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (ms-word) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context." The documents should either open in the browser or trigger the desktop app. Installing older versions hasn't fixed this.
Looking for solutions, thanks

Download icon messes up page downloads

For the longest time, I could go to a page and hit CTRL+S and the entire page would save. It would save an html file and a folder with all the files needed for that page.
Since updating to version 68, when I hit CTRL+S on a page, I get a little yellow dot on the download icon. This is something that has shown up a few times - it means something didn't download. But always if I click the icon I can hit the circle arrow thingy and it will complete the download. So naturally I did that and it said the download completed. But when I went to look for it, it was not there. Sometimes the folder is there with one or two files - or no files.
But here's the wacky thing: if I DON'T attempt to refresh the download and just go to my Downloads folder - the entire page is there. The whole thing. Fully downloaded. But the little yellow dot is on the download icon and there is a circle arrow thingy saying it didn't complete. If I click that circle arrow thingy - after seeing the files had downloaded - it will tell me the download is complete, but the files will have disappeared!
If that ain't a bug, I don't know what is.
It only happens with full page downloads. Everything else downloaded in the normal way (ie right-click, etc) is properly downloaded and the icon displays as expected.

I am running Firefox 70.0.1 (64 bit) on Win10. I assume most of my problem started after being updated to this Firefox version.
I have hundreds, if not thousands of bookmarks and have been running Firefox since its inception. I constantly import my bookmarks when I go from one machine to a new one over the years.
Because of the volume of bookmarks I have, I keep my most regularly used bookmarks at the top so when this happened, I noticed immediately since I could not find my most active ones.
I went to Firefox "Show all bookmarks" and did a restore from a few days prior and it seemed to be OK.
I shut down last night and when I restarted this morning. They were again shuffled, seemingly somewhat randomly.
Some time ago I noticed that my very long list had duplicated itself as if taking the whole list and appending it to the bottom of the list in the same order but since everything was there and in order I figured I would fix that some time in the future and never got around to it. Now I'm noticing that my bookmark folders have duplicated lists of their folders and sub-folders duplicated within the folder.
Is there a limit that I reached which is causing corruption and duplication or is it something else.
I am very hesitant to take some steps for fear of losing the whole bookmarks database but I have to do something.
Any safe ideas? Anyone having any similar issues?

the computer auto-updated to ff 70 for windows 10 64 - and all bookmarks and passwords vanished. I finally found an icon which loads ff 60.03, which works. But now there are apparently TWO versions of ff installed - only 70 shows up in program files on the C drive, but I'm not using that again. So....why two? Why did 70 make everything disappear? How to get things back in order? Thanks.

Since Enhanced Tracking Protection was added, I have removed all ad blocking add-ons. My privacy setting is standard. When sites pop up "we see you're using an ad blocker" and I toggle the shield to off for this site, the ad blocker pop up appears again on about one third of the sites I visit regularly and want to see. I would appreciate any settings changes that might fix this.
Drop-down menus not working in Firefox

Hi - about two days ago, I stopped being able to use drop-down menus in websites on Firefox. If I click on a drop-down menu it flickers up briefly and then disappears. This includes drop-down boxes for entering credentials for online banking and so on, but also any similar kind of drop-down menu on any website.
I can usually select an item by typing its first character but obviously this is only useful if I already know what I am going to want to enter.
I do use uBlock and NoScript, but if I disable all Add-ons it doesn't make any difference. I've also tried safe mode, and turning off hardware acceleration, but no effect.
All sites work fine in other browsers.
Any ideas?

I searched for solutions. Created new accounts. Now all three accounts have the same problem. I suspect because I use sync, it's also affected (infected?) my home computer(s). For security purposes, I don't leave my browser open all day, so I have to start every session with going to settings and switching it on. this has to be at least 10 times per day.
I don't want to convert to Chrome, but it seems nobody has an answer to this. I thought the latest update with the new password manager might fix it, but that just made everything worse. Not only doesn't the checkmark stick, but I can't see a list of sites and passwords any more. I only get an abbreviated list and can check one password at a time. This really sucks, but is another issue.
